# Lamination of the glasses according the specification mentioned above

Due to the fact, that most of the glass companies are not skilled to mount LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) onto metallized glass, it makes sense to locate the LEDs on a separate transparent conductive polymeric interlayer<ref>D.

In other words, the only productionremaining process offor glass lamination units will consist of laminating together standard glass using 2 layers of thermoplastic interlayers to sandwich ready to use LED embedded films<ref>http://www.ledfilm.ch</ref>. The final specification will be:

* '''Top Layer:'''..Glass

Line 47:

* '''Bottom layer:'''..Glass

Within this last specification mentioned above, the 2 thermoplastic layers together with the LED Interlayer<ref>http://www.suntecamericaledglass.comch</ref> will reach a total thickness of about 2mm. The 2 thermoplastic interlayers have a high adhesion to stone, wood, metals, foam, fabric and many Polymers. So they may be used to produce different products outside the typical glass business.
